Davis Choun: Pattern Assemblage
Exhibition: February 15 – April 9, 2022
Raleigh-based artist, Davis Choun, is a process oriented artist who works with many different discarded or everyday materials, most notably, clothespins. After taking apart the clothespins, the wood pieces are then burned, dyed, and/or stained. Using those pieces, he composes a pattern to affix to the panel, allowing the clothespins to interact and layer on one another.
Davis was born and raised in Rutherford County in western North Carolina and graduated from the School of Design at NC State in 2015. His work has been supported by various galleries around North Carolina, including Artspace in
downtown Raleigh, where he was awarded an Emerging Artist Residency in 2017 and where he currently works out of his studio.
The work you will seein this exhibition is born out of an attraction to benign or discarded materials and a process of manipulations. The work relies on improvisation and continuity.
